A Special Message from
Open Mind Technologies USA Inc.

The well-known CAM solution hyperMILL is an extremely dynamic programming system with 2D, 3D, HSC and 5axis modules that are simple and easy to use. Thanks to its flexible production strategies and the forward-looking feature technology, it is ideal for the tool and mould making industries. hyperMILL boasts a fully developed feature technology. The innovative 5axis cycles offer an alternative to conventional production strategies and significantly reduce production times. The integration of the CAM system with the CAD interface offers frequent advantages. Postprocessors optimally transfer the performance and quality of the CAM program to the controller and the machine.

CAM Software Incorporates CAD Component
Open Mind’s hyperMill 2013.2 release includes updates to hyperCAD-S, a CAD component designed to address the requirements of NC programmers, particularly for tool and moldmaking.

Open Mind Renews Agreement with MachineWorks
Open Mind Technologies (Wessling, Germany), developer of the hyperMill CAD/CAM system, has renewed its agreement with MachineWorks (Sheffield, U.K.) for the use of the latter company’s simulation and verification algorithms.

Five-Axis Programming and Simulation
Open Mind Technologies’ hyperMILL 2011 includes the hyperMAXX high-performance roughing module, which is designed to save time during roughing operations.

CAM Software Version Emphasizes Automation Capabilities
The hyperMILL 2010.1 CAM software edition is the company’s first package designed with 64-bit computing in mind. This version also includes continued emphasis on providing automation capabilities allowing the ability to store proven machining procedures, reuse corporate knowledge, add logic, make powerful programming macros and even drive hyperMILL from external applications using an API interface, the company says.

Free Seminar Explores New Machining Strategies
To help manufacturers succeed in a difficult economy, a complimentary one-day seminar will showcase new ways of integrating the latest machining products and techniques to improve productivity and product quality while reducing costs. Jointly hosted by cutting tool manufacturer Emuge, machine tool builder Hermle Machine, software developer Open Mind and metrology provider M&H Probing Systems, the event is scheduled for June 9 at Emuge’s Technology Center in West Boylston, Massachussetts. Technical representatives from each company will answer questions about products, technology and processes and how they interact to produce predictable and more efficient manufacturing cycles.
